BUSINESS BRIEFING / COURTS
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
EBay Inc. isn’t liable for sales of counterfeit L’Oreal perfumes on its website, a Paris court said.
The online auctioneer meets its obligations to combat fake products, the court ruled. The tribunal called for the companies to go to mediation to develop a plan to work together on the issue.
EBay’s victory follows earlier losses in France: It was ordered to pay compensation to Hermes International and LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton in similar cases.
